The volume of "Naraku" has come to an end, and I would like to take this opportunity to talk to you a few more words.

This volume is the beginning of the second part of the book, which can be seen as the prologue of the second part, in which the protagonist plots a trap against Narakuten and the heavenly palace in order to solve the hidden danger of "being descended by the god of Narakuten".

Resolving this crisis is the premise of the second part of letting go of oneself and showing one's strength, and the secrets of the gods and the great square pot will gradually be revealed.

Here are two questions that reflect more focused.

First of all, until the end of this volume, He Lingchuan did not remove the Naluotian mark in his mind, but chose to trap Naluotian's clone so that it could not descend again, so as to ensure his own safety.

Some friends are very dissatisfied: why not get rid of the clean marks, which will leave hidden dangers!

I understand the desire for perfection, but there is a saying in reality:

The world is not as good as it should be, and it is often seven or nine times out of ten.

You see, I didn't even dare to type out the "eight" in the middle, so I knew how unsatisfactory it was.

Millions of high school students have been studying hard for more than ten years, why are there always only a handful of them who go to Qingbei in the end?

Don't you want to go?

I can't pass the exam.

Why are more and more terminally ill patients embracing the concept of "living with cancer"?

Don't you want to be healthy, disaster-free?

It's not curable.

In the same way, is He Lingchuan so big that he doesn't want to get rid of the mark?

It can't be driven away.

At least for now, if you can't drive it away, you can't drive it away.

In the objective environment and under limited conditions, from a large country to a small person, we must learn to compromise, learn to save the country with curves, and learn to achieve the state of "the best at the moment".

Survive first and survive first, and only then can you have infinite possibilities.

That's true in reality, and it's true in the book.

I think this is the pragmatic and truth-seeking attitude, and this kind of character is the strength that transcends perfection.

The second question: Why does He Jing have so many scenes? Author: Can't you find another place to irrigate? What does a supporting character do with so much pen and ink?

I'm sure that many readers who read the end of the volume will have their own judgments in their hearts, but this is a popular work after all, and I hope to try to resolve the grievances, so I will answer a little:

The Heavenly Palace is located on top of the Spirit Void City.

Lingxu City is the center of Bega.

Bega is one of the most powerful countries in the world.

And He Jing, as the envoy of the Heavenly Palace, has a status under one person and above ten thousand people in the Heavenly Palace, and is on the same level as Bai Ziqi, and the Bega Demon Emperor is also polite when he sees him.

To write about such a character is to disrespect the Heavenly Palace, and it is also disrespectful to the Heavenly Gods. On a deeper level, it is also disrespectful to the plans and efforts of the protagonist.

Secondly, the Heavenly Palace team led by He Jing is the main force of the battle in the Panlong Secret Realm, and it is also a channel to understand the attitude of the Heavenly God towards the Dafang Pot from the side, and it is also the reason why Naluotian's clone can be led by the Ling Ling Treasure cover when he sneaks into the secret realm.

Why did He Jing know that the secret realm was a trap, and when he saw that Naluotian's clone was coming, he had no hesitation to enter? This is also related to the secret of the large square pot, which will be mentioned later, and here is a little foreshadowing.

Therefore, the timing of He Jing's team's entry, the battle process, the final ending, and the suspense left behind all need to be brushed and inked, and they cannot be simplified.

He Jing's team has a lot of scenes, just like "The Ideal Country of the Demon (Part II)", at that time, Jiufang used more than a dozen perspectives to write, just for one goal: to write the story well.

The "group portrait" is only a means, not a feature, and ultimately serves the story.

Speaking of which, have you noticed that "Immortals" is a little different from other books, it is neither easy to summarize nor classify, and the story looks okay.

Maybe it's because I really want to write a good story in the book "Immortals". All the factors that affect the development of the story, such as emphasizing individuality and showmanship, must be ranked after this sequence.

There are also people who question me for reversing and lowering my logic for the sake of reversal. In fact, what everyone sees is the manuscript, which is what the author echoes before and after, and writes thoughtfully, and it can't be said that there are no obvious logical mistakes, but there are really not many.

If you think it's a logical error, you might as well interject it first, maybe there is another statement later?

Writing here, I sincerely tell you:

Jiufang has no hydrology, and it will not be hydrological (except for the description of food, there is no way, people will always have some hobbies that are hopeless).

The reason for most authors is that they have nothing to write but have to stretch out the number of words, so they can only pour water into it.

But there's so much I have to write:

In reality, the construction and expansion of Dashao's territory, his relationship with Bailie, and the protagonist's participation in the grievances and entanglements between Mu Guo, Lingshan, and Bejia.

The pinnacle and contradiction of Panlong City in the Dafang Pot, the rise of Yuheng, the linkage between Panlong and Lingshan, and the war machine of Bega/Gods......

Of course, there is also a hidden line, which is the secret plan of the gods.

I also said in advance that the second part of "Immortals" will reveal the secrets of the gods, Mitian, Panlong City and Dafang Pot, so the role of Panlong World in the second major part is very important, not only one of the main lines, but also plays the role of an outline and a wedge and a reflection of reality.

I'll do my best to make it as vivid as possible. I also hope that my friends will invest more patience and grow together with He Lingchuan and Panlongcheng.

Look, there are so many main dishes to be served, and I'm so busy hitting the back of my head with my heels all day, is it really necessary to pour water?

It's not that there is nothing to write, but there is too much content to write, and there is no way to finish writing at all.

But while adding content to the book, I also wanted to make sure that it was natural, coincidental, and silky, smooth, and interesting to read.

To put it simply, it is necessary to control the rhythm and control the heat.

After all, a successful book cannot only be an outline, but only logic.

It is my ideal to present a unique aesthetic experience;

It is my task to build a bridge between reality and the book, and to invite readers to come into the book and breathe and share the fate with the characters;

Let everyone have a complete world more than those who don't read this book, which is the "way" that I strive for.

I came to the starting point to prove such a "way".

How's that, enough to confess, right? In these years, how many people who write books dare to talk about ideals?

I came to the starting point to be extravagant in terms of ideals.

I hope that everyone can become a book friend of Jiufang, not a customer.

For the sake of "Immortals", Jiufang is ready to do everything he can, and he no longer has the strength to take care of everyone's emotions.

The kind that Jiufang can't climb, please also consciously stay away from Jiufang.

Please respect everyone who works hard.

As for the results of "Immortals", please don't worry, once the editor opens his eyes and gives a good recommendation, it will be here. After all, switching from low and high to becoming a god, this is the script we are most familiar with, why not be confident?

Hey, of course, the ideal is abundant, and the task is daunting.

I've never been a speed player, I've been writing books for 9 years, and no year has been able to update 6,000 words for a long time, so when "Immortals" opened, I prepared 500,000 words to save the manuscript, thinking that I could hold on for at least two years, but I knew that it was about to bottom out now, cough.

It's all because this book is much more difficult to write than T_T before

I have been adjusting my condition for the past two months, and I have done a very comprehensive physical examination, and the problems that have been detected are all being actively treated.

Now I have to exercise for 3 hours a day, hoping that the indicators can return to normal values as soon as possible, and I also hope to get rid of the bad habit of reversing day and night as soon as possible.

Jiufang should devote himself to the creation of the book "Immortals" with the healthiest body and the fullest state.

The next volume, "Hundred Columns," is about to begin. The pace is slow at first, so let's update 5,000 words a day, and then I have to save some more manuscripts.

Bye-bye, thank you for your understanding and tolerance.
